The party covered 3,000 miles in this car, which is a model Y, 1910 type, without an accident of any character, the only stops being made for gasoline and oil. Every member In the party thoroughly enjoyed the trip, and were delighted with the sights at the National Capital. i i An order whit h recently went into effect at the Studebaker Corporation's EM-F factories in Detroit illustrates the growing attention which American manufacturers are giving to the export trade. The order required the location of taillights on the right instead of the left side of twenty-five E-M-F "??" and Flanders " 20" cars in every day's run of production.

While in New York city recently. Gen. du Pont visited national headquarters of the American Automobile Association on 5th avenue, for he is one of the oldest members of the Delaware Automobile Association. which is a part of^the national organization, and a' great believer in organized effort to secure the things that are worth while.

O j course, this road will show to the peopli i of Delaware the difference between i two-horse load over a bad road and i one-horse load over a good road.

Of course, there wtl be other representative adjuncts of farn life, live stock of the best breeds, for i is my belief that only healthy and th best cattle should serve the needs of th human race. I "As to the road itself, my ideas involv i a combination which would ultimatel I provide for both motor-dr ven vehicle and horse-drawn carriages and wagons A forty-foot road should take care of th motor ve.hiclts and permit of reasonabl speed for ordinary vehicle traffic, i thirty-foot path will give ample spac for horse-drawn vehicles.

Trees will line the roadways.-arrange in such manner as to afford greatest pro tevtion. for Gen. du Pont considers tha much of the success of upkeeping Euro pean roads is due to the care of th trees along the roadside. This road wil also have stat ons for the landing of air ships, after the latest known method adopted by the Belgians. Gen. du Pont believes that the day o federal aid is comparatively near at hanc j Furthermore, it is his idea that othe j prominent men who desire to benetlt thei states and communlt'es in a lasting man ner will follow his example In suppiyin highways rather than contribute libraries or monuments, which, while goo enough in the r way. fall far short of th general value of a first-class road. iUICK M OTOR CC - 2' a' g I I A- VV . + . -4 . .'irS- ,.-'-*. >/ * .. > '&(, .
